  1. Vomited filth and degrading contamination · dominant

    In Isaiah 28:8, the absolute singular form occurs in the clause that the APB renders "every table is filled with vomit; filth is without a place." The construct forms in Isaiah 19:14 and Jeremiah 48:26 occur in comparisons or actions involving a drunken man going astray in it and Moab wallowing in it; the APB renders these clauses "in his vomit" and "in his vomit."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "vomit" in all three verses: as material filling tables, as the setting of a drunken man's error, and as that in which Moab wallows. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate every grammatical contribution.
